It has happened a few more times, and i've narrowed it down to paraview. Unfortunately due to the random nature of the crashes i havent been able to obtain a backtrace.

This application relies heavily on opengl (and i'm assuming direct rendering?). I have DRI disabled due to bug #180015 / bug #160309. I'm not sure if this could be the cause of the problem though. Should it be possible for an application to crash the Xserver due to this.

If its likely to be a problem with the application, then I'm quite happy for this one to be closed. Bug #160309 is much more of a showstopper for me

(If it helps, I have attached a backtrace to bug #180015 - I'm not sure if this is related to the current bug though).
